Chapter 527 Real estate depends on speculation

The technology supporting wireless broadcasting is naturally the radio technology that has been eliminated in later generations. ஜ۩۞۩ஜஜ۩۞۩ஜ

Whether they are base stations or relay stations, they are just facilities for sending signals. A radio is a device that receives radio wave signals in order to convert the radio wave signals into audio that can be output.

Australasia actually has a radio station. After all, radio technology has been available more than ten years ago, but the technical limitations are very large.

Australasia is only limited to the southeastern part of Australia. To be precise, only the cities of Sydney and Melbourne have their own radio stations, and the coverage area is even less, basically only a few squares.

The biggest role of these radio stations is actually to announce national current affairs news, as well as some temporarily promulgated policies, etc.

Because the audience is relatively limited, there is no income, it is just additional publicity expenses for the government for better communication policies.

When capitalists see that the government radio station has no source of income, they naturally dare not enter the market. Compared with the government, they are the party that cannot bear the losses.

This is actually the trend of capitalist development. Any emerging industry or thing, if it cannot achieve profitability quickly, and the people who promote this industry are not very capable, and the wealthy officials and nobles basically mean that this industry cannot develop.

This also makes the entrepreneurial environment around the world not so good. The background of this era is much darker than that of later generations. If you don't have much power or funds, it is very difficult to start a successful business from scratch.

Because capital always has a way to plunder your resources and seize your market.

Those who are a little more civilized will crazily suppress you and then buy your business at a low price.

And those tyrannical capital, in collusion with the government, can destroy the wealth that entrepreneurs have worked so hard to build for others on an unfounded charge.

Arthur also saw this, so he asked the Royal Bank to provide certain assistance to the entrepreneurial environment in Australasia, including providing capital loans to some entrepreneurs, etc., and also making investments.

This action also saved the entrepreneurial environment in Australasia, which is why Australasia has given birth to a lot of middle class and small capital.

After all, the biggest capital in Australasia is Arthur, and Arthur has no need or idea to interfere with the entrepreneurial behavior of these people.

On the contrary, if these people succeed in starting a business, it will also be helpful to the Australasian economy.

As long as he is not a capitalist without any conscience, Arthur is also happy to see the birth of more small capitalist classes in Australasia, thereby improving the economic level of Australasia.

As for those who will gradually develop into big capital, the government also has corresponding measures.

At least in Australasia, the power of capitalists will not be so high, and capital will always be in the hands of the government and Arthur.

The government can influence capital, but capital cannot influence the government. This is the most suitable system for the development of a country.

Compared with the research on radio waves, the research and design of radios is actually very simple, and the corresponding equipment was already available more than ten years ago.

There are two main types of radios that are currently popular, one is a mineral radio that does not require a power supply, and the other is a tube radio that requires plugging in.

The mineral radio does not require a power source and even has a very simple structure. But it is precisely for this reason that mineral radios require an antenna up to five meters long to receive signals, which is also one of the few shortcomings of mineral radios.

Of course, in addition to this, the sound of the mineral radio is small, so it is not suitable for more open places.

Tube radios do not have these restrictions, but they need to be plugged in. They are one of the oldest types of radios.

The technology of these two radios is actually not difficult. The Australasian Academy of Sciences conducted certain research on the existing radio technology, quickly copied it, and improved it into Australasia's unique radio technology.

Comparing the two radios, the mineral radio is a relatively simple radio receiving device, so the cost is relatively cheap, generally selling for about 20 to 30 Australian dollars.

The structure of the tube radio is relatively complex and smaller than the mineral radio, so it is also more expensive, generally selling for 30 to 50 Australian dollars.

After the decision was made to lay out radio base stations across the country, the manufacturing and sale of radios became the top priority.

You know, the research of the Academy of Sciences is far more than that simple. It also includes research on eight-line image devices, which are the so-called early televisions.

If we really have to wait until early televisions are developed, then the importance of televisions will definitely surpass that of radios.

This also means that the heyday of radio is only a few years away, and sooner or later it will be replaced by television.

Therefore, taking advantage of the opportunity to popularize radios and making huge profits from Europe and the United States, this is what Arthur wants to do.

Americans, in particular, are still very wealthy. If they don't take advantage of them, they won't be able to handle the radio and radio technology that Arthur mastered.

There are countless radio equipment in the future, and radios are already installed in cars and mobile phones.

However, in the era of rapid development of the Internet, radio stations were eventually defeated by the Internet. It seems that except for a few people who are used to listening to the radio, most people have entered the impetuous and fast modern life and have no time to listen to the radio quietly.

But no matter what, this will happen tens or hundreds of years later. The market for radios can definitely cover the whole world. Before the Internet is completely popularized, radios can still be strong for a period of time and can also bring a lot of profits to Arthur.

Compared with the large number of base stations and relay stations required for wireless broadcasting, the investment in radios does not actually require much expense.

Relevant production technology, a production line, and the right number of workers can form a radio production factory, thus creating huge profits.

This was obviously a huge business opportunity, so Arthur decided to hand it over to the royal family consortium and the aristocratic consortium for joint investment.

The first is to increase competition in the radio industry, and the second is to create some income for the joint consortium of nobles. After all, those nobles can't rely on Arthur to support them, can they?

Although Union Bank is currently able to generate considerable income, Australasia's aristocracy is growing and must prepare for the future.

In addition to these overt means of making money, secretly, several of Arthur's consortiums have not stopped their efforts.

After determining the real estate policy for the United States, under Arthur's order, several consortiums moved out one after another and began to purchase land and properties in large American cities, preparing to ignite the American real estate industry.

There is a relatively obvious difference between countries in Europe and the United States and Asian countries, and that is the difference in urbanization rate.

This is not only due to the degree of development of the country, but also due to the different population sizes among various regions.

Let’s take the current British Empire as an example. As the most powerful country in the world, the British Empire has a very high urbanization rate.

According to historical records, seventy years ago, the urbanization rate of the British Empire had reached a terrifying 50.2%, and urbanization had basically been achieved.

In the early 20th century, the urbanization rate of the British Empire had exceeded 75%, and it had become a highly urbanized country.

Although the improvement of urbanization level has gradually slowed down so far, the urbanization rate of more than 70% is enough to prove how exaggerated the British Empire is currently.

As the capital of the British Empire, London's current population has exceeded 7 million, making it the most populous city in the world. This shows how exaggerated the development of the British Empire has been.

The United States, the theoretical largest industrial and economic power, does not give in. Its urbanization rate has reached 51, making it an international metropolis as famous as London, Berlin, Paris and other major cities.

Of course, there are many famous international metropolises in this era, such as Sydney and Melbourne in Australasia, which are also megacities with a population of more than 2.5 million and occupy an important position in the world's urban population rankings.

But in any case, Sydney and Melbourne are still quite far away from the above four cities. After all, the development of these countries is dozens or even hundreds of years ahead of Australasia. It is not yet what Australasia can do in a short time. To catch up.

As the current number one in both industry and economy, Americans are very proud of their own development.

While major European newspapers and experts are boldly predicting that London will become the first city in the world with a population exceeding 10 million, American experts are also predicting that New York will become the second city in the world with a population exceeding 5 million.

This theory is very suitable for Arthur to speculate in real estate in the United States. Therefore, Arthur borrowed the exaggerated propaganda of Americans very unceremoniously. Major American media began to report on the situation of large cities in the United States, promoting that American large cities, led by New York, are the world's largest cities. The shining pearl in the world is also one of the most economically developed regions in the world.

The city's development prospects, future population growth, etc. are all in the news reported by newspapers.

Since the economy is the most developed and the population is going to skyrocket, then transportation and housing will definitely be a problem.

After all kinds of publicity, the rise in housing prices has become a matter of course, and there is even a trend that housing prices must rise to be worthy of New York's status.

At the end of February, the average house price in New York remained at just over US$370. In early March, it rose to over US$410, and it doesn't even mean to stop.

At this time, the New York housing market was not only controlled by Arthur, but also a large number of capitalists who were taking advantage of the chaos to buy houses.

After all, there are still quite a number of capitalists with good investment vision. The recent over-publicity of the development potential of large American cities, coupled with the abnormal growth of housing prices in the United States, has led to speculation that there is a driving force behind the scenes.

But regardless of whether there is a promoter or not, following up on the purchase of a house has become the choice of most American capitalists.

Even if you only hold it for a short period of time, you can earn at least dozens of dollars per house. If you buy too much, you can earn thousands or even tens of thousands of dollars in income, which the capitalists cannot afford to refuse.

Under such an exaggerated trend, hundreds of thousands of apartments in New York and other cities were sold out in just over a month.

Most of the people who buy these houses are capitalists, not the common people who really need these houses.

The property is out of stock!

The news headed by this title instantly became popular throughout the United States. People are increasingly believing in the impact of urban development on housing and transportation. In the hot wave of buying houses across the country, they also want to hoard a house for themselves in advance, or even buy more and wait for the appreciation in value. .

With Americans so crazy, housing prices have risen even more exaggeratedly.

In early March, housing prices in New York were still just over 400 US dollars. In mid-March, they had reached 420 US dollars, and they were still in a state of low prices and no market.

Basically no one wants to sell their house for $420 because home prices continue to grow and they can make more money by selling later.

It's worth mentioning, because the newspapers are not only writing about the housing crisis, but also about transportation problems.

This has also resulted in that in addition to houses, the sales of cars, which had been plateauing, have also become hotter.

Although car sales are not as exaggerated as housing prices, according to Benz Automobile's sales data in the United States, since March, average daily sales in the United States have increased by more than 15%.

After housing prices soared by $50 in less than a month, the extent to which housing prices will rise has become a topic of concern across the United States.

There is no need for Arthur to push behind the scenes now. The capitalists who have purchased a large number of real estate have already mobilized their own public opinion power and are frantically promoting the development prospects of the city and the value of the real estate. This has also caused the growth of housing prices to continue without any stop. down trend.

In addition to purchasing ready-made properties, many capitalists who saw the dividends already had plans to build a large number of properties for sale.

You know, land in New York is actually not expensive. The cost of building a house can be controlled at about US$280.

This also means that based on the current housing prices, the net profit of a house is at least US$140, and building 10,000 houses is US$1.4 million.

People can become millionaires by engaging in real estate. Who would refuse this temptation?

In addition, those capitalists are crazy about promoting the benefits of the real estate economy, thus affecting the support of U.S. Congressmen for real estate agents.

Those capitalists boasted that real estate can drive the development of industries such as steel bars, cement, and even doors and windows, providing more job opportunities for all Americans and solving the employment problem of Americans.

We must vigorously promote the popularization of the real estate economy in the United States. Americans can not only completely solve the unemployment problem, but also obtain more income from civilians and accelerate the cycle of the American economy. It is a win-win situation for capitalists and the government.
